I was impressed by the website and some of the reviews; mostly for the hygienists. I found the dentist to be rude, and interested in money more than his patient's best care. My dental insurer has been made aware of his refusal to fix a partial that even his assistant stated did not fit me. He refused to extract a tooth with the root and nerve exposed. I have a meeting this week and when I have more info I will update this review. Hope is the best employee in the office! Caring and always helpful. She is truly an asset!

tl;dr they didn't do a thorough exam and missed my gingivitis. I went to RVD in march, pre-covid. I waited a while to be seen and received a very minimal exam. They essentially took x rays and used a mirror to look at my teeth. I had made an appointment to get my teeth cleaned, but the dentist told me he didn't have time to clean my teeth. Everyone seemed annoyed that I was even there. I also pointed out an area where I was having pain in my mouth, and after a single cursory look, they told me it was nothing and I should wear my retainer more. I moved away from Hadley recently and saw another dentist who did a better exam and very quickly diagnosed the pain as moderate gingivitis. If I hadn't been able to get an appointment it could have gotten a lot worse. Inattentive and inept.

Recently had a tooth related issue that started on a weekend. Called the office first thing Monday morning at 8 am, the ladies at the front desk are angels and they had me in a chair within the hour. This is a wonderful office, with some amazing employees, and the best dentist I have ever had in my life. He went out of his way and performed a procedure immediately to alleviate the pain and address the issue. Did I mention I had a Root Canal? Didn't feel a thing. Hands down this was the best experience one could ask for when visiting a dentist office. I have recommended this office to my friends, family, and co workers. If you are looking for a good dentist office, you found it!

Attended my first appointment here last week when an old crown popped loose. When I called, I expected to be told I'd have to wait a long time to see anyone because I'm not an established patient. They were able to see me the very next day, and I have a follow-up appointment scheduled for my routine checkup and cleaning this coming week, so I was impressed with that because the receptionist initially told me they were booking out to 6 weeks, but there was a cancellation. Dr. Gojgini was very personable and puts you at ease. I've gone to dental offices where upon meeting the dentist, I almost immediately wanted to run out of the room. Not so here. His assistant was also kind and helpful. They ask you a lot if you're comfortable, which is nice. Speaking of the receptionist: The staff here are SUPER nice. I'm sorry to be a little negative for a second, but I find that usually isn't the case with medical reception staff...they all seem to have a huge chip on their shoulders and seem like they'd rather be boiled alive than be at their jobs. Everyone at River Valley was really welcoming and helpful, so I hope that means they're treated well!
